Onslaught - Let There Be Rock (AC/DC Cover)

[drunkenpillock]

and the white man had the schmalz

or not?

[MellorDrumatix]

Great tracks all the in search of sanity ones. pitty some muppet has cut them all short!

[REDHILL67]

The original release of this as a 45rpm demo b-side was better and much heavier!

[LOLsensation]

people dont mess up. a cover doesnt have to be exact to the original. I personally like this cover because it's pure onslaught style. When i listened to acdc's song i always thought how the song would be in a metal way. Thanks to onslaught now i know :D

[GuitarRiffs13]

he sings some notes too long, that ruins the hole thing a little bit

[acdcguy18]

@celticurse Good point. AC/DC is called by many as, "the pioneers of metal" after they released their Fly on the Wall album ('85), which is considered their first metal album. So it makes sence in the end.

[vicfirth97]

Garbage. Let Bon do the singing.

[acdcguy18]

Interesting cover.

Half as long, half as good.

It doesn't make sense for a metal band to do this song, mostly 'cause this is called "Let There Be Rock" and they're metal. Ironic.

[celticurse]

@acdcguy18 well in a strange way it makes sense though, because without rock we probably wouldn't have heavy metal. but then again in the same way if it wern't for blue/jazz or I don't think we'd have rock either lol but thats looking too much into it.

[chinolatino38]

this version rulzz

[joshpick18]

This cover is... different. It's like AC/DC meets Metallica meets GnR meets Black Sabbath. Again, it's different, interesting, and unique. I think it's pretty good for a heavier version.

[Rikybatterista]

this is a shit!!!!! the coverr is a shittt ahuahau the drummer is a shit the voice is beautifull!

[aquatiger1987]

damnit.... what's with people arguing that they are from Australia or Scotland? Bon Scott was a Scottish man born in Australia and the other main exception is Cliff Williams who is English; Brian Johnson is also English

[Nagneto]

Best damn cover I've ever heard. Just as good if not better than the original.

[ixtab02ixtab]

Tsss que buena!!

[McSmijens1]

this is actually pretty good. this band is certainly doing their own version of it and not making a carbon copy of the original...but the original is always the best! AC/DC forever!

[Painkiller132]

The other version of this cover is best, i have a vinyl called "Let ther be Rock" by Onslaught, and play this song but best

[MusicWillLiveForever]

a couple times i almost thought this was judas preist, amazing cover

[MrThrasha666]

killer cover...Angus would like it lol. AC/DC is also better than any other band ever!!! Dont care how many people who reply to this negatively! They truly are the best and bands like sodom, anvil, destruction and obviously these guys would agree!! \m/ \m/ AND THE MUSIC WAS GOOD AND THE MUSIC WAS LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!!

[personanongrataiS]

I met "Onslaught",(I think last year) on tour in Holland and sing with them "Angelwitch" !!

They´re all great persons with mutch humor......

I love them.........

[WINFIELD120]

have to disagree with you ...this sounds much better than ac/dcs version. I know ac/dc released this song as a single but I dont know why ....go downs a much better song

[Dbase225]

very good! but bon voice is MUCH better

[luigyB]

sound like anthrax

[ArischenInfernal]

awesome cover

hell yeah!!!!

[captonsped]

ac dc did a great job on the song and these guys cant top them

[Godflesh88]

Always loved this cover.

[SplinterCell49]

This is a great ACDC song, This cover is good but i don't get the same feeling as when i listen to ACDC's obviously

[ace69er]

Of course, AC/DC had an attitude all their own.

thats AUSSIE rockers for ya!

[kipling01]

That's SCOTTISH Aussie's for you ;>

[WINFIELD120]

hear hear

[ace69er]

NOT relevant! They were formed here so are AUSSIE!

Only the Young bros were ex scots.

The rest were Native born Aussies!

[kipling01]

Oh I'm so sorry but . . . all THREE of the main AC-DC driving force were born in SCOTLAND from SCOTTISH descent. The clue is in the name. (Bon SCOTT!) Granted the other two original members were AUSSIE but thats still a 3-2 victory to the SCOTTISH AUSSIE

Sorry buddy, don't worry you can still make that boast with Airbourne if you want to :>

[ace69er]

So he was. Thought he was born here. No matter. I looked it up.

Who are Airbourne? Never heard of them.

I do know of an Airborne, however...

[kipling01]

After all that- you know a jazz band from Torino but not an aussie rock band based on AC-DC!! sheesh

[ace69er]

I do, you obviously MISSED the pun!!!

[kipling01]

Missed it totally mate, can't see the pun now even though you've pointed out that there is one!! I thought you just couldn't spell :>

[ace69er]

No i can spell fine. YOU didnt. Its AirBORNE, not Airbourne! Hence why i said i didnt know 1 but i knew the other.

Also, smoltz is spelt SCHMALTZ! Its YIDDISH!

Function: noun

Etymology: Yiddish shmalts, literally, rendered fat

Date:  1935

1 : sentimental or florid music or art 2 : sentimentality

— schmaltzy Listen to the pronunciation of schmaltzy \ˈshmȯlt-sē, ˈshmält-\ adjective

[kipling01]

wow. So near yet so far.

Even their own LOGO is spelt with a 'U'. sheesh!

Where did you get schmaltz *Yiddish shmalts, literally, rendered fat* from?! You never heard the word I used? Tis a common word . . . down our way!

I'm sorry to cause you such perricapobulations.

SHEESH: English slang.

Original Origins: Unknown

Usage: An expression of mild exasperation

Literal translation: "Good gracious me, I cant believe it!"

Circa: My dad, 1975 - Present

*I didn't copy mine from a book ;>

[ace69er]

In the beginning Back in nineteen fifty-five Man didn't know about a rock 'n' roll show And all that jive The white man had the *smoltz* The black man had the blues No one knew what they was gonna do But Tchaikovsky had the news That comes in every pm to me so you must have wrote that lyric, The spelling is totally wrong! its Schmaltz! Oy vadda fakaktus! You shouldda seen all the Hymies in Balaclava the other day! OY!

[kipling01]

No idea what you're talking about. I'm not sending you lyrics every pm.

[beavernuts123]

@kipling the band was formed in australia so suck my dick history wizard

[kipling01]

formed in Australia by a bunch of foreign delinquents. . . . just like the Bee Gee's

History Wizard? Nice:)

[RedCastle5000]

@ace69er I thought Onslaught was British?...

[ace69er]

@RedCastle5000 We werent TALKING about Onslaught! I have NO idea where they are from! We were talking about AC/DC who were Aussie!

[Metallicat8888]

@ace69er

Yeah, Onslaught are from near where I live, in England...
